June 19


Tuesday night I am driving home from poker, driving slowly because the roads are wet and it's late at night. I'm coming up on the roundabout (very unsafe, by the way) and this teenager comes flying around the corner and crashes into my car. She starts crying and accusing me of hitting her, which was ridiculous, I was going straight and she hit the side of my car, which I hoped the cop would see, but of course Barbie starts crying to get sympathy. At the end of the night I'm given a citation for "failure to yield" and we have to wait to get the police report to see who was at fault. I like my car and I'm afraid it might be totalled. I would rather drive it as is then let State Farm total it. It is still driveable, I just don't have a left headlight any longer. Meanwhile, I will NEVER enter a roundabout again. I don't care if I have to drive 5 miles out of my way to use the interstate, those things just aren't safe. On a positive note, I have a new window unit AC, small and energy efficient, works much better than that bulky portable AC I was using for the past couple of weeks. It hardly sticks out the window at all, and it fits under the building overhang so I don't have to listen to the rain hitting it like the one I used last Summer, I just hope the HOA doesn't come down on me.
